Huddersfield UK Train Station

Designed by the architect James Pigott Pritchett and built by the firm of Joseph Kaye in 1846–50 using the neo-classical style, the station is well known in architectural circles for its classical-style facade, with a portico of the Corinthian order, consisting of six columns in width and two in depth, which dominates St George's Square. It faces out towards Lion Buildings. It is a Grade I listed building.

The station frontage was described by John Betjeman as "the most splendid in England" and by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the best early railway stations in England" and "the only important Victorian railway station in the West Riding". Similarly, Simon Jenkins reported it to be one of the best 100 stations in Britain.

Two pubs are within the station frontage, to each side of the main entrance: The Head Of Steam and The King's Head.

The first station cat, Felix, joined the staff as a nine-week-old kitten in 2011. Since then she has patrolled the station to keep it free from rodents, and even has her own cat-flap to bypass the ticket barriers. In 2016, Felix was promoted to Senior Pest Controller. In 2016, local artist Rob Martin painted a portrait of Felix which now hangs in the station.

The second station cat, Bolt, joined the staff in September 2018 as an eight-week-old kitten.

The train works as a transport hub so it will be found in the Hubs section of the Transport tab. The station has 4 functional platforms ideal for use as a transfer station from an external rail network onto an internal one. The inner platforms also have two additional tracks to allow trains to pass though the station without stoppping.

The train bypass tracks are required to make the station run, the other props are optional but improve the look of the asset.

The station clock will match the in game time.

I recommend the use of the Transpennine Express and Northern Trains from this collection: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1967015446
